Here are some of the Popular Symptoms that members mention them here and there yet they are not clear or scientifically approved , nor they make part of the DSM's diagnostic criteria.

Those are :
- Inability of lying : Debunked - many of you lie.
- Meltdown : Debunked - there's no consensus about what "Meltdown" is. Proof? Just take a loot at this thread: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postxf128983-0-45.html - So basically , any unexplained condition/behavior/feeling/reaction/pain is called by the members here a "Meltdown" . Some name their phobia attacks as Meltdown, other describe anxiety and depression as Meltdown , other even name their tantrum as Meltdown.
- Sensory overload : Scientifically, this term makes more sense but some aspies here call it Meltdown as well , it's not part of the autism/asperger's criteria.
- High intelligence : ?
- Acute senses, such as strong hearing ability,
- Being talented : Not necessarily.

.....

let' s continue the list together.

- Meltdown : Debunked - there's no consensus about what "Meltdown" is. Proof? Just take a loot at this thread:


Try "sensory integration dysfunction" for a fully studied, well-referenced and approved scientific explanation of the Meltdowns that many experience, consistent with many (but certainly not all) of what WP users describe.
